Woman found dead behind St. Paul church

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Authorities in St. Paul are investigating the city's 14th homicide of the year.

Just before 3 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a report of shots fired in an alley behind Iglesia de Dios Rios de Aguain the 900 block of Reaney Avenue. When they arrived, they found a woman, reportedly 20-years-old, dead in acar in the alley.

Authorities have not officially released the victim's name, but the family is identifying her as Neressa Turner. They say she loved music and could light up a room.
